Answer:
Option B
Explanation:
From the question we are told that:
Equation
[tex]EX_4+Y_2->EX_3Y+XY[/tex]
Bond enthalpies are:
[tex]Y-Y 109 kJ/mol,[/tex]
[tex]X-Y 123.1 kJ/mol[/tex]
[tex]E-Y 290 kJ/mol.[/tex]
Generally the equation for the energy used to break E-X and Y-Y is mathematically given by
[tex]E_2=109+x[/tex]
Therefore
Total Energy Liberated is
[tex]E_T=E_1+E_2[/tex]
[tex]E_T=413.1+109+x[/tex]
[tex]E_T=304.1-x[/tex]
Since
[tex]E_T+E_I[/tex]
Therefore
[tex]304.1-x=243.6[/tex]
[tex]x=60.5kJ/mol[/tex]
